You Instead Page #6

It's all right.

MORELLO:

You smile like a girl.

ADAM:

You're incredibly beautiful.

[STRIKE THE COLOURS'

"IF I DON'T BELONG" PLAYING]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Be the one that I love

Andi will see your frown

In the furrows of the mud

Make me weak at the knees

Andi will see your eyes

In the bark of the trees

Maybe. Maybe.

Possibly. Maybe.

Lay my head on the ground

There won't be a sound

As the dawn comes down

And the leaking clouds

Will fill up the streams

That'll drown you out

If I don't belong...

Let's go.

Right.

Lay my bones

underneath the trees

And let the wind have my body

Commit each hair

On my head to the sea

I'm sorry

about your granddad's jacket.

Now we fought in it too.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS

IN DISTANCE]

SECURITY:

Pass?

Pass, please.

Whoa. Hey, do you know who I am?

Cool. Hey.

I'm the man.

Hey, I'm the manager of The Make.

Tyko! Sh*t!

F*** you, you f***ing sh*t blister!

F***! Tyko!

SECURITY:
Do you know this guy?

I've never seen him

before in my life.

Hey, Tyko!

Get this f***ed-up fool off me!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

BOBBY:
He's trying to f*** me.

TYKO:
Hey, man. Excuse me?

I was joking.

It doesn't seem so funny now.

BOBBY:
You asswipe!

I got my f***ing meds in there!

Bobby. Hang tight, Bobby.

I'll get you in here. Don't move.

BOBBY:
You do not have a f***ing

job in the morning, sir.

All right.

We got coffee, black.

We got juices, orange,

exotic, brown.

Like vitamin C.

And something called IRN-BRU,

but I think that's a beer.

BOBBY:

Just mix them together

and pour them over my head.

Oh, look.

Hey there, AWOL.

TYKO:
Hey, man.

Can you keep it down to a whisper?

ADAM:
You okay?

TYKO:
It's just been a little heavy.

Have you seen my girls?

I've been looking all over

for you two.

I want my handcuffs back.

MORELLO:
What?

Hey, I got other people to cuff.

MORELLO:
Where is the key?

I gave the key to this young man.

MORELLO:
What?

I gave it to Tyko.

Right, and I gave it to

Mm-mm.

MORELLO:
Tyko?

My own pocket.

You knew about this?

So this was a joke to you?

No, it wasn't a joke.

It wasn't a joke.

I don't care.

Can whoever has the key

take these f***ing things off me?

Nobody's gonna save the planet

but you folks, you know that?

You cram

100,000 people together,

no music, what do you get?

A riot.

You give them music,

we all in this together.

TYKO:
Okay, you're free.

ADAM:
Please, let me explain.

Please.

Please, don't.

PROPHET:

Music turns a mob into a movement.

ADAM:

Wait, Morello!

[BOBBY GROANS]

That guy is loud.

[PAOLO NUTINI'S "CANDY"

PLAYING]

Well, I'm some stain there

On your bed sheet

You're my diamond in the rough

Darling

I'll bathe your skin

I'll even wash your clothes

Just give me some candy

Before I go

[CROWD CHEERING]

Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes

And lay you down on your rug

Just give me some candy

After my hug

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

I know that there are writings

On the wall

Gotta talk to her.

Do you wanna eat?

No. No.

BOBBY:

You are knotted.

Before I go

Darling, I'll kiss your eyes

Lay down on your rug

Just give me some candy

After my hug

Oh, and I'll

The video sequence,

that finishes there, okay?

So if you just change the order.

Yeah, yeah.

[ALL CHEERING]

This is such a beautiful thing, guys.

How are you?

You want me to sign right here?

Be patient. We'll get you all.

CROWD:
I want you I want

you instead, I want you

ADAM:
Hello.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm all right. How are you?

Oh, my God. Thank you!

Hi. How you doing? All right?

All right, yeah.

TYKO:
What's your name, man?

ADAM:
What's your name?

Bryan.

Bryan. With a Y?

Come on! All right!

Yeah!

Hi.

TYKO:
Hey, pretty.

Hey, man. How are you?

TYKO:
That feels amazing.

So many hands on my body.

I like it.

Oh, my God, this is happening.

ADAM:

Will you let me down?

TYKO:

Beautiful.

Thank you, guys.

F*** this, man.

CROWD:

You let me feel real

ADAM:

Can we get out of here?

TYKO:

Love you. I'll wave.

[CROWD SINGING INDISTINCTLY]

[CROWD CHEERING]

He?!

I came to say good luck.

You got yourself a soft landing.

You wanted me to wait

to get pushed?

For her?

It seemed to me like you barely

even needed the handcuffs.

Have a good show.

Shall we do this, man?

Yeah.

[BOTH SCREAM]

[THE MAKE'S "YOU INSTEAD"

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

She got loved up

On the seashore

Kissing with a girl

He'd never met before

The food was sparse

But the drink was plenty

Jack was 16

And Jill had just turned 20

Lying there on the midnight sand

He said he'd give her the sky

If she held his hand

She counted every star in the sky

And said I don't want that

I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you instead

I want you

["YOU INSTEAD"

PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

He did look good in my jacket,

didn't he?

KIRSTY:

Morello, it's not too late.

Just another imposter.

I want you instead

[CROWD CHEERING]

I want you instead

I want you

I want you instead

Make me feel real

Real

Real

You make me feel real

Real

Real

Real

She got loved up on the seashore

CHORUS:

You make me feel real

Kissing with a girl

He'd never met before

ADAM:

Whoo!

I think we need to go away after this.

Yes.

Go away together for a week.

No boys, no men.

No boys.

Just music.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Morello.

Morello!

I don't know if you heard

about what's been happening.

You know what?

I think I need your help.

Can you help me out?

[ALL CHEERING]

Yeah? You look beautiful, man.

Okay, can we all shout

for Morello, please?

ALL [CHANTING]:

Morello! Morello! Morello!

Morello! Morello! Morello!

Morello! Morello! Morello!

You gotta be louder than that.

Morello! Morello! Morello!

I'm for music.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh...

CROWD:

Morello! Morello! Morello!

[CHANTING CONTINUES]

[CHUCKLES]

J.J.:

Oh, my God.

I don't... I'm just gonna...

I'm just gonna check it out.

ALL:

Morello! Morello! Morello!

I don't know if she's out there,

but, Morello, this is for you.

If you can hear me,

you make me feel more real

than any girl I've ever met.

I screwed up your set yesterday.

Why don't you come screw mine up?

KIRSTY:

Go on.

[THE MAKE'S "DARK ENERGY"

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Closer we get

Temperatures rise

[SQUEALS]

The look on your face

The fear in your eyes

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

BRUCE:

Morello coming through.

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

I feel your light shining on me

Whenever you're around me

I'm feeling so alive

[CROWD CHEERING]

I feel your light shining on me

Whenever you're around me

I'm feeling so alive

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

Tonight you're mine,

You're mine, you're mine

Hey, hey!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you Morello!

Morello's on-stage!

[SCREAMING]

BOTH:

I feel your light shining on me

Whenever you're around me

I'm feeling so alive
